Dear Rae,
I am the Programming Coordinator of Studio-X, a downtown extension of Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (located on Varick Street in Soho). Would you mind forwarding an announcement for an event tomorrow evening to ICIS students and faculty? It’s below, and attached. I think it will be of interest to many, especially as the participants will be condensing the lessons learned from Caracas and Dubai and reflecting them upon the infrastructural development of contemporary New York City. Also, we really like to have a NYU representation at our events!
All the best,
Gavin Browning
Studio-X
